ILO becomes member of International Aid Transparency Initiative
The International Labour Organization (ILO) has become a full member of the International Aid transparency Initiative (IATI), joining a growing number of United Nation agencies and international development bodies in committing to promote greater transparency in the use of development and humanitarian resources to address poverty and crises.

In fact, after a period of decline, world hunger is on the rise again, trending with an aggressive increase in overweight and obesity. Moreover, the linear food system has come at great cost to our environment and is no longer fit to meet our long-term needs. Transitioning to a circular food system has been identified at a global level as an opportunity to make our food system economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. In short, a circular approach aims to make our food system eco-efficient, climate smart, and to reduce food wast
